IRC Etiquette
As some of you may know, we have begun to incorporate ideologies in the way we act on IRC. The purpose of this thread is to document these things, so we can show new users the way we do things at Nixers. I feel like the high standards make this community much higher quality than any other in our particular niche. If you look at /r/unixporn, it's a perfect example of a community turned sour because of the negligence of the mods and constant degradation of elitist values. I do not want to see the same happen to Nixers.

Conclusion
Overall, these are in no way "rules" but rather a set of standards that we can fantasize about.
